I second this thought! As Kaspar has written, too: It's all about the

See it from a different perspective:
(substitute BSD with your favorite non-restrictive license)
All work I do on RIOT, I do in my spare time.
If RIOT is BSD'ed, for *me* personally time spent on it is not fun time
I like to in my unpaid spare time anymore, it becomes work that is also
fun. Work others can (and will) sell under their terms.
(L)GPL guarantees that my contribution will stay part of something that
might improve, but is always available to me under clear tearms.
BSD doesn't.
As the man earning a shit load of money from one of these evil
companies, using a proprietary smart phone, and buying Facebook goggles,
working on RIOT for me is a very expensive hobby.
BSDing turns it into work I do for other companies, for free. I will
probably not contribute much this way, unless I become one of the
companies taking RIOT and selling it somehow.
